Subject: Possible git git config --global user.email BUG
Message-ID: <20080316192636.3075d0eb@linuxamd.linicks.net>

Hi all,

I have been using git clone for 'pull' only for a while (kernel, Xorg
etc. etc.), but today starting using local commit and creating patches
for Fluxbox project.

On a new clone of fluxbox, I issued:

git config --global nick.email <real.mail.address>
git config --global nick.name "Nick Warne"

I then made my changes and issued:

git commit -a

All OK.

Then showing changes (and also creating the patch BTW!):

git show

Reveals that the change DIFF grabs hold of my local user.domain and not
what I earlier set-up:

This happens on all the patches....  Have I done something wrong?

Thanks for any help.
